Description

DeepL Translate

This wonderful apothecary chest is in a lovely condition, and exhibits fine craftsmanship and design. Originally, it would have been used either in a wealthy household or by a traditional Chinese apothecary to hold a variety of medicinal herbs, roots, and remedies. The chest features thirty-five small drawers, each with a ring handle and divided into four sections by internal dividers, providing individual storage for specific items. Unique to each drawer is a circular label displaying Chinese characters handwritten to indicate its contents, read clockwise from the top. The elm wood finish is original, with a soft tone that blends nicely with the worn, faded labels for a muted effect that would fit easily into any interior. Beautifully preserved, apothecary chests like this one are increasingly rare to find and it would make a lovely, unique addition to any space.
